Ginny Sue Candle Co. is a small, family owned and operated candle business founded in 2022 by BJ and McKenzie Hansen. The business launched on October 1, 2022 and is named after McKenzie’s grandmother, Virginia Self.
“My grandmother was my best friend, and was friendly and hospitable to everyone who entered her home. She is the one who taught me how to keep a home that is warm and inviting to all who step in the door, so I wanted to name this business after her and bring that sense of tradition and wisdom to all of our customers and carry on her legacy.” — McKenzie
Our Candles
Our candles are made with 100% organic soy wax, non-toxic scents, and a cotton or wood wick. We have chosen to use soy wax for our candles because it is more natural than paraffin wax, which is made up of artificial materials such as a petroleum byproduct.
Soy wax also has a lower melting point than traditionally made paraffin wax candles, so our candles will last longer and burn longer than most mass produced candles. We also make sure the wax is at the perfect temperature when we add the scent to the candle to ensure we get the perfect throw to make your homes warm and inviting.
Each candle is hand poured in our workshop after you place your order and are made to your specifications: the size, wick type, scent, and even the container; and while this may slow down our processing and shipping times, we believe in the old southern value that good things come to those who wait.
